Actually Hangout

Actually Hangout v0.88.0 This one is about the two things you do most: finding something to do, and actually pinning down the plan. Explore, rebuilt as a scrollable wall Explore is now a Pinterest-style masonry feed — two columns, cards sized to their real photo instead of squeezed into a box. New tabs let you flip between All, Places, Activities, Events, Nightlife, Food and Drink and Friends. Images load a screen ahead and fade in, and double-tapping the Explore title jumps you back to the top. Explore actually has stuff in it now If your area was thin, Explore used to come back blank — no message, no retry. Now you get a "Popular anywhere" feed instead, clearly labeled so you know it is not local, and a real screen with Change location and Try again if even that is empty. Suggested for you works now too. The app opens with something on it Cold starts no longer drop you into an empty shell. We warm up your feed, profile and friends first, so the app opens with real content already on screen — with a hard cap on the wait, so a bad connection never leaves you staring at the logo. Suggest a change to someone else's hangout On any hangout you are invited to, hit Suggest a change to propose a different time, place, or detail. The organizer sees the pending count right on the hangout, reviews it, and accepts or declines. Everyone gets notified. Vote on the parts nobody has decided yet Hangouts with a TBD detail now show a "Still being planned" card. Open it and vote on the options, and the organizer can lock one in when it is clear. Real tables, real times When your plan includes a restaurant, you now see the tables that are actually open — real time slots in the restaurant's own local clock, with a tap-through to finish booking on Resy. If the day is fully booked, it says so, because that is the useful answer. The plan editor lives on the timeline now Editing a plan finally looks like reading one. A stop's time sits in the gutter next to it; tap it and a picker slides up. Set how long each stop takes, see the travel leg between stops, reorder them, and add links to individual stops. The Intelligence planner got a real composer One button that is a mic when the box is empty and a Plan button once you have typed. Example prompts fade through the empty box, and the mic glows with your voice. You can also invite people right from the planner, from the sheet or by @mention.
